"Velvet Tongue is the word-spinning
sister of the burlesque revival that has stormed London - humorously
titillating with tongues very firmly in cheeks" "...a wonderfully
entertaining way to spend the night"

“It's the
perfect place to try new work and show off your talent with a room
buzzing full of writers and fans of poetry and word. It's not simply
readings though, the performers that it attracts are hands on, hansom
and props and interaction with the audience often occur...” http://eroticmeet.net/birthday

PREVIEWS:

"Those who consider Jane Austen’s back catalogue to be a mite racy, look away now."

"For those that aren’t aware of the night, it’s nothing like the drab, pc, ‘right-on’ vibe you might expect from a poetry event. It’s more of a literary circus, and yet the atmosphere of the room and the people who attend is the most encouraging, friendly, intimate and accepting that I’ve ever come across. Literally, anything goes."

"I want as many voices as possible; the idea of making people aware that whoever they are and whatever they want to present, they are welcome is vital. (...) I have the impression that there are people who use Velvet Tongue as an opportunity to try things they wouldn’t do at other events - I like that very much."
